The Swedish Koenigsegg has surprised many times before, but it has never done it like it did this time. They presented two of the fastest cars in the world, which take your breath away with their image, and even more with their hard-to-understand numbers. The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is said to be the fastest car in the world, and the Koenigsegg Gemera is definitely the fastest 'three-cylinder' in the world.
Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut it is the fastest a car, which ever came out of the Koenigsegg factory. It drives him 5.0 liter V 8 cylinder with almost 1,300 horsepower, but if we pour it into the engine high octane fuel, we will have at our disposal just 1,625 horsepower and up to 1,500 Nm of torque. It will exceed the speed it is supposed to reach 490 km/h. All this power is directed to the road with assistance 9-speed automatic transmission, which Koenigsegg says shifts from any gear to any other gear in virtually 0 seconds! And this regardless of how many gears were skipped.
In order for the Jesko Absolut to reach maximum speed, Koenigsegg made the body of the car breathtakingly elegant by reduced the drag coefficient to just 0.278. To get to this point, more than 3,000 hours went into aerodynamic analysis, along with more than 5,000 hours of supercar design and engineering. The car weighs only 1,320 kilograms thanks to the lightweight construction of the carbon fiber chassis.
Another stunning example of motoring is Koenigsegg Gemera, which could jokingly be said to be “the fastest three-cylinder in the world". It has 2.0-liter 3-cyl engine with two turbines, and to help three electric motors. The total power of the system is 1,725 horsepower and 3,500 Nm of torque. To accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, it only needs 1.9 seconds.
Because it's a Koenigsegg Gemera hybrid, can complete part of the journey using only electrical energy. There is enough energy for 50 kilometers Gemera can travel a long distance, including fuel 1,000 kilometers. In electric driving mode, the Gemera can reach 300 km/h, in a combination of electric motors and an internal combustion engine, this figure increases significantly, above 400 km/h. Gemera also stands out because it has enough space for 4 people and luggage, which is another one novelty Koenigsegg. That both cars are full the latest technologies and carbonaceous fiber for weight reduction, it probably doesn't need to be emphasized.
